Robbery at pot dispensary foiled, one arrested

San Diego  Three men tried to rob a Normal Heights medical marijuana dispensary Wednesday night by pepper-spraying employees, who then got one suspect locked inside the business.

San Diego police took the man into custody when they arrived at The Dispensary on Adams Avenue near 32nd Street about 9:20 p.m.

Employees behind a security partition activated a door lock during the attempted robbery, but two of the suspects slipped out and one became trapped indoors, police said. Police said the spray was still thick in the air when they went in to make the arrest.
